Delivering retributive justice
Synonyms:
PunishingPunishing unlawful behaviour
Description:
Providing fair and just punishment for the guilty. Penalizing a person for a misdeed.
Context:
Punishment is generally inflicted by an authority (eg, the state or a parent) on one who honours that authority. It is distinguished from revenge, in which one individual acts without the support of appropriate authority.
Claim:
Punishing wrongdoers rehearses for the whole society those acts which it has agreed not to condone. This prevents crime and strengthens the common bonds of the society.
Counter Claim:
Forgiving and rehabilitating wrongdoers can constructively deter crime and gives criminals a renewed bond of participation in their society.
